Lez Zeppelin
Body:
A two-night Zeppelin throwdown is coming back to The Warehouse this December. It is no secret that women rock, and rock hard. Seeing the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band, Lez Zeppelin, is a testament to that. They capture lightning in a bottle, replicating with power and finesse the thunderous blues-rock music of one of rock’s finest bands.
Like Led Zeppelin, Lez Zeppelin is not kidding around. You’d be a fool to not treat yourself to this concert. I mean, Jimmy Page has seen them play. And he loved them. Loved. Them. Talk about a seal of approval.

"There are a few jarring moments when it will feel like the most powerful all-female band in rock history…" - Chuck Klosterman, SPIN

The ‘Very Slambovian Christmas’ show has developed into one of the premier Slambovian events of the year, attracting fans from near and far. Drawing on a set list comprised of traditional Christmas songs with a twist, a sprinkling of original holiday tunes, and a generous helping of non-traditional musical fare, it is guaranteed there will be something for everyone.

Lawrence has the talent and potential to propel a more authentic brand of R&B-inspired pop music into the broader culture. You saw them open for Robert Randolph on NYE 2016. Now, Lawrence headlines in The Warehouse.

The nine-piece band is led by the brother-sister duo of Clyde and Gracie Lawrence. Clyde, who became the youngest member of the Songwriters Guild of America his work in “Miss Congeniality”; Gracie, a former child actor with a diva’s voice—draws on influences from Motown to 60s psychedelia and beyond to create music that is as much a throwback as it is something wholly novel.

“Each song was keyboard-driven, energetic and featured the mind-blowing vocal arrangements of Clyde and Gracie.” - Pancakes and Whiskey

The Alternate Routes keep their December tradition alive. With an overall message that “we are how we treat each other, and nothing more,” The Alternate Routes take pride in all that they do and for the right reasons. More than just another local band, the gutsy alt-rockers all close personal friends of FTC.

The Alternate Routes keep their December tradition alive. This year, experience the Routes for a seated and intimate-acoustic performance. With an overall message that “we are how we treat each other, and nothing more,” The Alternate Routes take pride in all that they do and for the right reasons. More than just another local band, the gutsy alt-rockers all close personal friends of FTC.

Born in funk and bred in the digital age, this live electronic duo has burst onto the scene at a time when the industry needed them the most. Brothers Matt and Mark Hill share the stage just as easily as they share a musical brain. A wide-angle view of diverse music allows The Floozies to remix Toto and The Dead—in the music you can hear reverence for the giants of the past, all the while producing wildly futuristic tunes for the masses to dig now.

A bold, psychedelic show full of sonic exploration and unbreakably deep pocket grooves has landed the brothers on stage with luminaries of the jam world including Umphrey’s McGee and electronic elites STS9 and Big Gigantic. Sold out shows across the country, huge festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, High Sierra, Summercamp, Wakarusa, Camp Bisco, Summerset, Bumbershoot, and a headlining Red Rocks show have continued to cement the duo’s ascent.

The Barr Brothers have increasingly become one of the western world’s most distinguished purveyors of eclectic modern-Americana. It’s a freewheeling, eclectic amalgam of styles, from rock to folk, blues to world music, making them “one of the most creative bands out there today” (Paste Magazine). Over the last several years, they’ve shared stages with The National, The War On Drugs, My Morning Jacket, and headlined the Montreal Jazz Festival in front of 40,000 people.

If you’ve seen a Carbon Leaf show, you know it feels less like a performance, and more like a party among good friends and family. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with a Carbon Leaf show. With songs that are catchy, filled with a rollicking alt-country-folk vibe, it was no surprise that they won “Best Unsigned Act” at the American Music Awards.

Speaking of which, check out this song called "The Boxer" which helped them win that award. And an International Songwriting Award in the Rock category, and the Pontiac Vibe’s Summer Sound Off Competition.

For over a half-decade, Mullett has proven themselves to be the Premier Rockers for Hair Band fanatics and lovers of rock n roll. By delivering the best of the 1980’s in Big Hair and faithful renditions, Mullett recreates the vibe of those times with unrivaled conviction. Mullett has the unique ability to rock and captivate their audience with the sights and sounds of the Glam Band era. Mullett fans agree; this is the closest anyone can get to classic Van Halen, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Journey and Poison without hitting 88 mph in a tricked-out Delorean.

Winners of the Independent Music Awards “Best Live Performance” Category, BroJo is on a mission to make the world a more righteous place. Soul in the style of Ray Charles and Al Green, a good helping of jam-bandy roots rock with a splash of powerful upbeat gospel without the religious overtones. More than just live music, BroJo is a theatrical performance. When the parade starts grooving, try to stand still. We dare you! Come for the party and leave a bead covered convert.

Described as “one of the sharpest, funniest storytellers in rock” by Rolling Stone and “an exceptional songwriter” by NPR's Fresh Air, Todd Snider’s due diligence to stringing perfectly picked words together just right has earned him sincere nods of approval from some of his biggest heroes (including John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Joe Shaver, and Guy Clark).

He’s the lead singer of Hard Working Americans, waxing loud and poetic alongside Jesse Aycock (Secret Sisters), Neal Casal (Chris Robinson Brotherhood), Dave Schools (Widespread Panic), Chad Staehly (Great American Taxi), and Duane Trucks (Widespread Panic). Snider is one of the most insightful, humorous, and clever singer-songwriters in American music.

"In the stripped-down area where country meets folk, sometimes called Americana, there hasn’t been a phrasemaker as wryly quotable since when — the heyday of Kris Kristofferson and John Prine?" - New York Times

Rambunctious Danish indie rockers New Politics formed in the late 2000s around the talents of vocalist David Boyd, guitarist/vocalist/keyboard player Søren Hansen, and drummer Poul Amaliel. The band's high-energy, guitar-driven blend of punk, pop, and electronically induced dance-rock (Boyd specializes in wildly unpredictable stage posturing) eventually caught the ears (and eyes) of RCA, which signed the group in 2009. Fearing American anonymity, the band relocated to Brooklyn, New York, where they released their self-titled debut full-length in July of 2010. Their sophomore effort, A Bad Girl in Harlem, followed in 2013 and their single "Harlem" received a number of prominent placements, among them a Taco Bell commercial, several trailers for the film Frozen, and the Guitar Hero Live video game. After switching over to Warner Bros.-affiliated label DCD2 Records, New Politics released their third LP, Vikings, in late 2015. In early 2017, after spending two years on the road, the band released a new single, the uplifting "One of Us," with the full-length Lost in Translation arriving later that October.

Live shows are genre-jumping excursions into world music, reggae, and all points in between, showing you that, despite the traditional guitar-banjo-mandolin-acoustic bass lineup, this is not your father's bluegrass group. Watch them covering Grateful Dead's Shakedown Street the other year in The Warehouse. YMSB keeps it fresh with a wide-ranging song catalog and pure improvisational talent. You'll never see the same show twice and that's precisely what attracts their cult-like following.

Will Evans & Rising Tide
Body:
After selling out StageOne in July, the front-man of Barefoot Truth returns with his band Rising Tide for his third full-length album release "Rise". The band features several members of BFT, along with Evans' tribalistic didgeridoo and skilled looping. Fans can expect to be up out of their seats and dancing for this high-energy performance. This is sure to be a special evening where he will play selections from the new album, and many of his most popular hits. Grab your tickets early before this one sells out.
He has shared the stage with many top artists including Crosby and Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby, Rusted Root, Donavon Frankenreiter, Railroad Earth and members of Dispatch. You can catch Will on the road this summer as a touring band member for good friend & acclaimed artist: Trevor Hall.

LISA LAMPANELLI’S LOSIN’ IT! makes its worldwide debut at FTC’s StageOne on November 3rd. During this humorous and heartfelt 90-minute storytelling show, Lisa Lampanelli and her cast of professional actors, storytellers, and other surprise guests will have audience members howling with recognition as they hear their stories about trying to maintain sanity when it comes to “losing it.”

Lampanelli, a nationally known comedian who made headlines when she lost more than 100 pounds more than half-a-decade ago, organized the show to shine an intimate but hilarious light on the universal problem of body-image and weight struggles. “Food is the only constant in our lives from day one, so no wonder we’re obsessed with it,” she laughs from her home in Fairfield. “Well, that and the fact that I can’t put on a pair of jeans without getting both a muffin top AND a camel toe!”

A generous portion of the proceeds from the two performances (3 p.m. and 8 p.m.) will benefit Lampanelli’s chosen charity, The Center for Family Justice in Bridgeport, CT. The organization strives to break the cycle of abuse and violence – domestic, sexual, and child – by providing services that create hope, restore lives, and drive social change through education and community collaboration.

VIP includes: preferred seating, cocktail and small plate reception with Lisa and all performers, signed program, photos with Lisa, up close and personal Q & A session.

The Oh Hellos have taken the folk world by storm in recent years, earning the rare honor of playing two NPR Tiny Desk concerts and playing at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Folksy, simple, and sincere, The Oh Hellos are an emotional folk band with a big sound. Their influences range from Fleet Foxes and The Lumineers to Sufjan Stevens and The Middle East, bending and blending styles and genres into a unique and eclectic mix of folk-rock.

Anderson East
Body:
NOMINATED FOR “EMERGING ARTIST OF THE YEAR” AT 2018 AMERICANA AWARDS

If you aren't yet familiar with newcomer Anderson East you should be. Hailing from Athens, Alabama – a stones throw from the legendary capital of soul and blues, Muscle Shoals – Anderson East is the rare breed of singer-songwriter whose mature sound betrays his youth and newcomer status. As far as sound goes, Anderson East is something of a man out of time. The kind of soulful, heart-firmly-on-his-sleeve crooning that's in short supply these days.

Sounds Like: Ray LaMontagne with a bigger range and a better sense of humor, cutting loose on Stax Records

Mountainfilm On Tour
Body: Mountainfilm on Tour return to FTC for another evening ofinspiring and captivating films handpicked from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado. Founded in 1979, Mountainfilm is one of America’s longest-running film festivals. The annual festival is held every Memorial Day weekend in Telluride.

What happens when you mix the vocal style of an artist like Michael McDonald with the more modern passions of musical storytellers like Andrew Ripp or Matthew Mayfield? You get a rich, audible landscape where piano, guitar, strings and thoughtful lyrics collide with a voice that is distinctly his.

“An urbane folk-rocker with a sonorous baritone, Ari Hest sounds like a man out of time.” - The Washington Post

JJ Grey’s tour this fall will give fans an opportunity to see him stripped down, without a band, and in an intimate setting.

Born and bred in Florida, JJ Grey plays music that mixes raw rural blues with tough, soul-bent swampy Southern rock. His sound has a loose, natural feel while maintaining a potent edge, and his songs draw deep on his heritage as well as his clear-eyed perspective on the world around him. The easy candor Grey has with his audience is the embodiment of his allure. He is an everyman, but he also happens to possess a poetic streak that is married to his Jerry Reed- and Otis Redding-loving heart.

"Rich, funky swamp blues celebrate life’s most fundamental joys. Grey is a singer-songwriter with unforced talent and deep feeling." - New York Times

Donna the Buffalo recently joined forces with legendary Producer Rob Fraboni (Bob Dylan, The Band, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones) to record their newest album. Fans will be excited to hear this news since their newest album in five years.

“For more than two decades, the band has woven a colorful, eclectic mix of old-time bluegrass, Cajun and zydeco, folk, reggae, dusty Americana and San Francisco organ jam-band rock’n’ roll into a warm, dance-all-night vibe that is uniquely and purely its own.” - New Haven Register, Mark Zaretsky

Melvin Seals & JGB are keepers of the jamband flame, paying tribute to their fallen founder with every note. There are dozens of Grateful Dead tributes and side projects but only one man is fit to carry on as JGB’s frontman.

Melvin spun his Hammond B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so, helped define what jamband music is today. As nicknamed by Garcia himself, come see the Master of the Universe’s powerful presence in The Warehouse. This is a show for diehard Deadheads and those who appreciate a good jam.

The English Beat brings ska-punk fusion to explosive, danceable life once again, back on StageOne. Busting out of the late 70s UK post-punk scene, The English Beat led the charge of ska-revival bands dubbed "2 Tone" and brought 60s pop and soul tunes to a new generation.

Selling out nearly every show they've ever played at FTC, it appears that fans can't get their fill of these guys.

AWB are widely regarded as one of the best soul and funk bands in the history of music. They burst onto the Northern soul scene in 1972 opening up for Clapton mixing classic sounds of Memphis Motown and Philly R&B to produce serious hits including “Cut The Cake” and “Pick Up The Pieces.”

Undeniably funky; AWB packs enough soul and groove to make you move in any sized room. With that in mind, we’re excited to see these heroes of funk test The Warehouse’s limits. If you love flat out funky grooves, churnin' bass, burnin' brass, and funktastic tempos - do not miss this show.

Keir Dullea, the star of 2001: A Space Odyssey hosts a 50th Anniversary screening of this classic film. The evening will feature a newly remastered version of the film made especially for the anniversary.

Come and enjoy the film in The Warehouse with its state of the picture and sound. Keir Dullea will be available before and after the film to answer your questions.

Electric, funky, operatic, edgy ­-- that's what you get with Tim Reynolds & TR3. Perhaps best known as the Dave Matthews collaborator and guitarist, Reynolds' eclectic band serves up a mix of updated originals and wild covers including everything from James Brown, Led Zeppelin, and King Crimson.

"TR3 rips through some funk, rock and even Latin music. Reynolds changes guitars for nearly every song, bringing out a Flying V, a Fender Strat and even playing some slide. The entire three-piece band is solid and Reynolds’ fretwork is about as good as you will find. Reminiscent of Steve Howe, Steve Vai, and Carlos Santana, Reynolds is as crafty and inventive as he is quick and versatile. TR3 is worth the price of admission." ― The Press of Atlantic City

GoodWorks Entertainment presents Anders Osborne to Benefit SpreadMusicNow! SpreadMusicNow is a non-profit that is committed to providing funding for music programs with the objective of fostering continual learning for a clear path of college, career, and life success.
VIP tickets include open bar, food, and a private viewing area.

Between the potency of his richly detailed songwriting, his intensely emotional, soulful vocals and his piercing, expert guitar work, New Orleans’ Anders Osborne is a true musical treasure. A powerful live performer, Osborne has earned hordes of new fans. He has toured virtually non-stop, either with his own band, as a solo artist, or as a guest with his countless musical admirers, including Toots and The Maytals, Stanton Moore, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh, and Jackie Greene. Since his recording debut in 1989, Osborne has written virtually all of his own material and contributed memorable songs to a wide variety of artists.
“Rich and glorious…Osborne possesses a voice that rises out of the darkness to the light of a soulful, tremulous wail. He is a consummate showman and shaman, bending successive moments to suit his majestic purposes. Osborne seeks an epic quality to much of his music, crafting layer upon layer of hugely scaled soundscapes.…never lazily derivative…every slashing guitar figure, every cry of a lyric, seems to come from an authentic place.” -- New Orleans Times-Picayune

Formed in 1963 in Stamford, CT, The Fifth Estate was a central part of the garage rock movement. Remember NBC's 'Hullabaloo'? They performed their crackin' song 'I Just Don't Care' on an early 1965 episode of Hullabaloo TV and later released their international sunshine pop version of "Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead" which reached No. 11 on the Hot 100. Their version of the Oz song is still the highest American charting version of any Harold Arlen or Wizard of Oz song since 1940.

Johnny A. has one of the most eloquent voices in modern music - and he doesn't sing a note. Think Hendrix, think Page, Clapton, or Prince. Johnny thinks like a singer when he plays, always tasteful and always powerful. The most important piece for Johnny A is always the melody, and he's a master of the hook. He takes six strings and turns them loose in ways that transcend musical genre, challenging himself to take on different styles in making his Gibson sing.

He was inducted into the Boston Music Hall of Fame in 2014 and currently plays lead guitar for The Yardbirds, the very band that launched the careers of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page.

The Andy Irons Story is a documentary film that focuses on the true, untold story of one of the world’s most prolific surfers. The intent of the film is to show the unfiltered life of Andy Irons, one that was filled with energy, passion, success, and challenges. Challenges that pushed Andy to the brink and were both the best parts of Andy and the hardest to handle. The filmmakers, Steve and Todd Jones, wanted to create a film that captured the true essence of Andy Irons - his family, his friends, and those who later realized a friendship that at times was hard to understand.

The alt singer/songwriter earned comparisons to Iron & Wine and Sufjan Stevens with his hushed, eclectic folk music that started showing up on various TV shows like Grey's Anatomy, General Hospital, Life of Ryan, and Army Wives.

"For someone whose music encompasses such emotional depth, or as some people may label as depressing, Fitzsimmons was funny and talkative with his listeners, laughing often in his own self loath....The live performance sounded even better than the record, and I know everyone left feeling much at peace. Fitzgerald captivated his audience with a mesmerizing simplicity that is so palpable live, and it’s moments like these that make me grateful for my ears." - Thank Folk For That

It doesn't matter if you were in school — or even alive — when the 80s revolution unleashed its musical fury.

Don't forget the spandex and acid washed jeans - festive attire is encouraged!

Gangstagrass is a serious and sincere exploration of the meeting point between bluegrass and rap music. “People hear us talk about it, and they imagine something really bad,” Rench said of the group. “The best exposure is when somebody hears us before we’ve described it to them. When they hear it, it’s ‘Oh, OK. Yeah, that works.’”

"Goes beyond pairing laconic rappers and energetic turntablists with background harmonies and fiddling. Rench sings with a slow drawl about job losses, striving, union organizing, and other socialist concerns." - The New Yorker

“A mixture of bluegrass and hip-hop that might repel some purists on either side of the country-and-rap divide, but will knock the socks off just about everybody else.” - Wall Street Journal

“Rench and his friends have done nothing short of creating a new form of music. Gangstagrass takes two types of music that are opposites and mixes them together brilliantly in a way that is natural and enjoyable.” - Elmore Leonard
